How did democratic developing countries open their economies during
the late-twentieth century? Since labor unions opposed free trade,
democratic governments often used labor repression to ease the
process of trade liberalization. Some democracies brazenly jailed
union leaders and used police brutality to break the strikes that
unions launched against such reforms. Others weakened labor union
opposition through subtler tactics, such as banning strikes and
retaliating against striking workers. Either way, this book argues
that democratic developing countries were more likely to open their
economies if they violated labor rights. Opening Up By Cracking
Down draws on fieldwork interviews and archival research on
Argentina, Mexico, Bolivia, Turkey, and India, as well as
quantitative analysis of data from over one hundred developing
countries to places labor unions and labor repression at the heart
of the debate over democracy and trade liberalization in developing
countries.
International trade often inspires intense conflict between workers
and their employers. In this book, Adam Dean studies the conditions
under which labor and capital collaborate in support of the same
trade policies. Dean argues that capital-labor agreement on trade
policy depends on the presence of 'profit-sharing institutions'. He
tests this theory through case studies from the United States,
Britain, and Argentina in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth
centuries; they offer a revisionist history placing class conflict
at the center of the political economy of trade. Analysis of data
from more than one hundred countries from 1986 to 2002 demonstrates
that the field's conventional wisdom systematically exaggerates the
benefits that workers receive from trade policy reforms. From
Conflict to Coalition boldly explains why labor is neither an
automatic beneficiary nor an automatic ally of capital when it
comes to trade policy and distributional conflict.

This study examines the complex relationship between movie
budgeting and the creative process in Hollywood filmmaking. To
understand the effects of this relationship on the finished
product, several films are analyzed throughout pre-production,
production and post-production. These stages of filmmaking are
further divided into categories for each case in order to reveal
examples of potential conflicts that arise between investors and
creators. A case study approach is guided by theories of the
production of culture, which state that creative products
manufactured in the cultural industry must be analyzed in relation
to their surrounding society. In their application to these cases,
these theories suggest that social and financial influences on
members of the Hollywood community produce a unique creative
environment that may become increasingly detached from an
international audience. Findings suggest previous indicators of box
office success are becoming primary influences in the filmmaking
process. The study also finds that financial standards in Hollywood
potentially inhibit innovation among creative participants within a
limited Hollywood creative sphere.
